Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Oat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Honeycrisp Apple or Gala, shredded
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 2 Large Eggs at room temperature
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil
  • ½ Cup Coconut Sugar
  • ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Cup Greek Yogurt
  • ⅓ Cup Apple Puree
  • ⅓ Cup Pecans roughly chopped plus more to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • Whisk together the 2 Cups Oat Flour, 2 teaspoons Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon Baking Soda, a pinch of salt, 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger, and ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 Large Eggs, ¼ Cup Coconut Oil, ½ Cup Coconut Sugar, ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup, and 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract.
  • Add ½ Cup Greek Yogurt, shredded 1 Honeycrisp Apple , and ⅓ Cup Apple Puree, and mix until just combined. Whisk in the flour and spice mixture.
  • Gently fold in the ⅓ Cup Pecans, but be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Garnish the top of the loaf with a few whole pecans. Bake for 55-65 minutes. Start checking at 55 minutes, since ovens and loaf pans can vary.
  • Check it halfway through and cover with aluminum foil if needed to prevent excessive browning.
  • Allow it to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a crisp apple such as Honeycrisp, Gala, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.
  • Unsweetened applesauce works best.
  • Don't overmix the batter once the flour is added.
  • Start checking the loaf around 55 minutes, since oven temperatures can vary.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
  • Pecans can be replaced with walnuts or left out.
